Sorry a bit of a noob when it comes to Ubuntu and more than 1 OS on the system.
While my Striker II is away being RMA'd I'm currently bacl on my old P4 system. It's an old advent pc that's been butchered quite a bit. It's running a P4 3.2ghz E prescott (HOT!), 7600GT, ECS SF2 (with a bad bios flash, but cant repair it, but somehow still alive. It says unkown flash on boot up. :) But cant reflash it as it says size doesnt match. Anyway, it still works sort of) and 2gb of ram.
The system is limping along, so I wwas thinking maybe I could try Ubuntu on it.
I have two identical IDE 160gb WD drives. One master and one in slave (both are identical as I imaged one from the other.) I am going to wipe one and reformat, then install Ubuntu.
Is there a way of setting it up to dual boot properly? Or do I just bang the Ubuntu disk in the cd drive, and install it on the slave IDE drive?
Cheers.
